HOUSTON, April 10, 2017 (PCW) – Enterprise Products Partners on Monday announced it would build a mixed natural gas liquids pipeline running from the Permian Basin to Mont Belvieu.

The 571-mile, 250,000 b/d Shin Oak pipeline is expected to go into service in 2Q 2019. EPD said it is supported by long-term customer commitments and could be expanded to 600,000 b/d. The pipe will orginate at EPD’s Hobbs NGL fractionation and storage facility in Gaines County, Texas, and terminate at EPD’s Mont Belvieu complex.

The pipeline will also carry supplies from other gas processing plants in the region, such as two EPD facilities that went into service last year and the Orla I plant, which is expected to start up in 2Q 2018.
